I am not saying he has, but at the same time, I've long suspected "The Rocket". I mean, take a look at his upper body. Like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa ( and others we're pretty certain of ), he wasn't like that earlier in his career. If that is a point of contention for you, just pull out one of his early baseball cards like I have and see for yourself. Besides, if you weren't guilty, why would you even bother answering such charges?

I had wondered about him for years. He is getting better and bigger as he gets older. that sounds familiar and suspicious.
Age is the great equalizer in sports and now a days when a player does not decline with age, I take a second look.

No, I really don't think he has. I can understand why many will say yes but I believe he respects the game too much to have ever done something like that. Bonds is a different story. Hell, he's even willing to let other people do his jail time for him. His name has been linked to every dirty steroid deal that has come down the pike in the last 10 years. Bonds is dirty, no doubt about it. But not Clemens. This guy has always been great through out his career. A premier power pitcher! Bonds didn't start hitting 70 plus home runs until recently. What's up with that??

I was at the Hall of Fame this summer having a discussion about Roger and all the signs that point to his potential usage.
In my honest opinion, I think he did.
Will he get caught? No.
Did he fail a test? No.
Will he be back next season? No.
Should baseball forget about the past and just focus on the future and implementing a thorough test? Yes
At this point... we're gonna hear a LOT of names, and it will ultimately be a whole lot of accusations and denials... with NO way of finding the truth, it is best to focus on cleaning things up from this point forward.

I've suspected he's been juicing ever since he overreacted so well when Mike Piazza hit one his pitches that broke his bat in two. The barrel went towards the mound and Clemens got way too angry because he was too twisted to see it was one of those baseball things. Piazza (who has way more class than him) would never throw a bat at the pitcher.
I believe he is/was using steroids.

I am not going to say yes or no to the question. However...yes I have seen Clemens' upper body but it is his legs that are huge. Most steroid users have smaller legs because of the focus on the upper body. This is not the case with clemens.

I seriously doubt it. If he took steroids before, he definitely isn't now, and he is STILL one of the best pitchers out there. Pettitte is such a religious guy. He just wouldn't do that.

Absolutely. Like Bonds, he suddenly got better after starting to decline in his mid 30's.

any participant caught employing drugs would desire to be thrown out of their activity. If those idiots are assume to be heroes to the young ones that what lesson are we placing for giving them a 2d hazard, their not infants and could be critically punished.

Just because he has gotten better as he got older, increased in size and strength, is a fiery guy, and recovered from injuries when it looked like his career was over, is no reason to suspect anything, is it?

Some pitcher broke the news over the weekend that he knows for a fact that he has, as well as pettite and many others.
